Makeup 101: How To Enhance Eye Color!

One of the most asked questions regarding eye makeup is how to enhance your own natural eye color. How do you make brown eyes smolder, or make those blue eyes pop? It’s simple Love Muffins…well complementary actually! I’m about to break it down nice and easy for you. The easiest way to enhance your natural eye color is with the an eye liner that complements your eye color.

Blue eyes are enhanced when lined with golden brown shades, since orange/gold complements blue. Try M.A.C. Eye Khol in Teddy.

Green eyes are enhanced by cranberry or coppery shades, since red complements green. Try Sue Devitt Eye Intensifier Pencil in Kanpur.

Brown eyes’ golden tones are enhanced by lining with blue shades, since blue complements any golden/orange tone. Try L’Oreal Wear Infinite Soft Powder Eye Liner in Deep Sapphire.

Remember Love Muffins, never line your eyes with a color that is stronger in tone than your own eyes, expecting them to be enhanced. Placing a bolder green shade next to green eyes only makes the colors fight for title of “Who’s Greener”. You may notice your eyes look green (because they already were), but you’ve actually weakened your own eyes color by making them compete with a richer shade.

After you’ve lined your eyes, use a q-tip or finger and smudge the line into a softly diffused finish. Add few coats of black mascara. Bat those lashes, and wait for the complements to come your way.

Keira Knightly For Coco Mademoiselle

Keira Knightly is the new face of Chanel’s new fragrance “Coco Mademoiselle”. The ad features the Pirates of The Caribbean star along with the sounds of Joss Stone belting out her soulful rendition of the Nat King Cole classic “L-O-V-E”. It’s not quite on the level the Nicole Kidman’s ad for Chanel No. 5 but it’s still hot! PS, I’ve attached the Joss Stone’s signature song as well. Enjoy love muffins.

Didn’t Alicia Keys Do An Ad For Proactiv?

If my memory isn’t failing me, I do believe that Alicia Keys appeared in a Proactiv infomercial in 2004. So that’s why I’m so shocked to see these mini volcanoes on her otherwise beautiful mug! AK was photographed out and about in Beverly Hills doing a little shopping yesterday displaying her highly reactive face that a little of the Proactiv she advertised would most certainly clean right up!
